zappalizzie added a topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseTotally Frustrated With Doctors!This is my first post, but I am sooo frustrated I'd like to vent. My 5 year old son was diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago with Celiac Disease. Recently he has been complaining of severe stomach pain, so I took him to the doctor to see if we could get something for the spasms. I told the Doc. that I was trying to determine where he might have picked up gluten, he is in kindergarten and maybe he picked up a crumb or two from another kids cookie. The Doc. then informed me (in a very patronizing tone) that it would take more than just a few mere crumbs of gluten to hurt him. I began to argue the issue, but it was impossible. God, don't they teach these people anything? Any advice on how to deal with these idiots?

Arizona Cardinals
Fox Sports NFL insider: 'Player's coach' Arians makes Arizona Cardinals a prime destination
A good coach can make all the difference. It's been quite some time since the Phoenix Suns have been considered a prime destination for free agents, but Jeff Hornacek may have turned the tide back in a favorable direction.
The same dilemma could be said of the Arizona Cardinals organization, but according to Fox Sports NFL insider Jay Glazer, head coach Bruce Arians is quickly changing the perception around.
"Look, the biggest selling point for the Cardinals used to be Scottsdale. Right? It's great, and of course somebody would want to move down here," Glazer said before his Saturday tee-off at the inaugural Arizona Golf Classic in Scottsdale, Ariz., hosted by the Arians Family Foundation. "But now playing for a guy like Bruce, (he) is the ultimate player's coach, without being a guy you can walk over."
Arians inherited a 5-11 squad and turned it into a 10-6 team in his first season at the helm. The Cardinals normally would have made the playoffs with such a mark, but they were unfortunate enough to be in the league's toughest conference, the NFC West, where two clubs — the San Francisco 49ers and the Super Bowl-winning Seattle Seahawks — had better records.
"He just connects with players," Glazer added. "So when you sit in a room with him, he's going to sell you. And same with (general manager) Steve Keim: You come in there and, you know what, these guys have completely changed the way this franchise is.
"It used to be a place, like I said, you'd come out here because you want to go hang out in Scottsdale. You can't blame them! But now you have a place where you go, 'These guys are a true and winning franchise.'"
The Fox Sports reporter also said Arian's success in Arizona has got NFL franchises reconsidering what kind of head coaches to look for when they have a vacancy.
"He's like the face of ageism in this league," said Glazer of the 61-year-old Arians, who never had a head coaching job in the league until partially through the 2012 season, where he spelled Chuck Pagano on an interim basis. "It's like how does this guy not get a shot years ago? Right? Because everybody looks for the young, hot guy, or it's the young this or young that. Meanwhile, you have a guy who can coach circles around everybody else."

DEFINITION of 'Self-Employed'
A situation in which an individual works for himself or herself instead of working for an employer that pays a salary or a wage. A self-employed individual earns their income through conducting profitable operations from a trade or business that they operate directly.
BREAKING DOWN 'Self-Employed'
It is important to note that being self-employed is a different situation than simply being a business owner. A business owner is someone who owns a company but does not work with the day-to-day operation of the company. In contrast, a person who is self-employed owns their own business, of which they are also the primary or sole operator. Furthermore, there are often different taxation-related implications for being self-employed versus being a normal employee or a business owner.

Dr. Stan Dubickas's Ratings
Dr. Dubickas is brilliant. His hygienist is less so. She is rough, rude (to patients and staff) and judgemental of me. I would love to keep this great dentist but his hygienist keeps me from returning.

I have been seeing Dr. Dubickas since birth (almost 30 years), and my parents are also long time patients. I cannot say enough good things about his work or his excellent staff. They are all very knowledgeable, friendly, kind and welcoming. Despite not living in Burlington, I happily travel to have my teeth cleaned. You will not find a better dentist or dental team!

Dr Dubickas is a super kind and efficient dentist. This is a nice clean place with super friendly staff. The receptionist is lovely. My husband and I have been going here for 10 years or so and are very happy here.

I have been going to Dr.Dubickas's for over 12 years with my family. 4 years ago we moved to Niagara on the Lake and still go back for their great service. I highly recommend this dental office. Staff are very kind, caring and proffesional. Keep up the great work, and thank you.

I have been going to Dr. Stan for about 4 years now. He is an amazing dentist - always doing his best to make things right in my mouth! His staff is equally amazing! Aldona goes out of her way to help always exceeding expectations. Samantha and Kristen are also phenomenal. A great team to look after the entire family's dental needs, with care, compassion and up to date knowledge.

Wonderful dentist and his caring and supportive staff. They treat me and my wife like family. Dr.Dubickas has excellent skills and knowledge. Aldona (his wife) is absolutely the best hygienist that we ever had. They treat us like family. Can't say enough about this pleasant office.

Fantastic dentist. And his wife who is the hygenist is equally good. She was very thorough and my teeth feel amazing after the cleaning. She also doesn't let me get away with slacking off either. My whole family goes to Dr. Dubickas and we can't say enough good things.

I can't give Dr. Dubickas enough accolades. I'm so very thankful that he is my dentist. He and his staff have taken excellent care of my teeth and I still have all my teeth. I give them total credit for that. I would never consider going to anyone else. If you value your teeth and wish to keep them healthy call Dr. Dubickas. You can't go wrong

I've all kinds of experiences with dentists as I have been trying to find a good one for a while. I had finally found a great one in Etobicoke, but found the drive too far when I moved back to Burlington. I was going to another burlington dentist with a fancy office and fish tank, but the service wasn't what I expected and the price was very high.
I was recommended Dr Dubickas through my sister and I can only say that him and his staff are great. The cleaning I got was super thorough and she was very careful. The bonus on top of everything was that the fees didnt' exceed the ODA fee schedule. Him and his wife (hygenist) were just as good as my experience in Etobicoke and I was paying and arm and a leg there (although glady). I highly recommend this dentist to anyone in the Burlington area. Remember, a fancy office and location only result in higher fees and the need to recoup money somewhere else... your mouth.

Book DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511736247
Subjects: East Asian history
In ancient China, the preparation of food and the offering up of food as a religious sacrifice were intimately connected with models of sagehood and ideas of self-cultivation and morality. Drawing on received and newly excavated written sources, Roel Sterckx's book explores how this vibrant culture influenced the ways in which the early Chinese explained the workings of the human senses, and the role of sensory experience in communicating with the spirit world. The book, which begins with a survey of dietary culture from the Zhou to the Han and offers some intriguing insights into the ritual preparation of food – some butchers and cooks were highly regarded and would rise to positions of influence as a result of their culinary skills – and the sacrificial ceremony itself. As a major contribution to the study of early China and to the development of philosophical thought, the book will be essential reading for students of the period, and for anyone interested in ritual and religion in the ancient world.

Rock Band 4
Rock Band 4 pre-orders are up, and the bundle will cost a pretty penny
And 24,998 more pretty pennies
Jun 15

Harmonix's Rock Band was a significant investment last generation. The barrier to entry for a proper full band experience meant buying a drum set, two guitars (if you didn't have any from Guitar Hero) a microphone, and t...
Rock Band 4 is doing a new fun thing you wouldn't expect
Jun 15
// Brett Makedonski
Between those dueling stages was an innocuous, decidedly less interesting room. But, what it lacked in flair, it made up for in substance. Some posted up nearby talking Filipino politics, but those who ventured inside found the biggest change to Rock Band in years. Guitar solos aren't what they used to be. Trepidation was abound. Shredding in Rock Band is such a staple. Now it's different. Accuracy has been replaced with creativity. I couldn't help but think that's a musician's move right there. I also couldn't help but be a little dejected that there's less skill involved with the instrument that I spent the most time trying to perfect. Down the hall, Pearl Jam's "Alive" started playing, and Eric Pope couldn't hide his disdain. I thought about firing it up to figure out how these new solos worked. I refrained and chose "Cult of Personality." In everyone else's hands, this is a plastic guitar; in my hands, it's a pipebomb. Things didn't pan out quite as I wanted. Rather than rhythmically dissecting the song until the solo hit, I was met with five minutes of solo. That's a dev mode thing -- perks of the preview event. I guess that's adequate time to figure out the ins and outs of the new format. I was mostly right, but not entirely. [embed]293727:59016:0[/embed] A small group had formed after a few minutes. Someone made a comment about the five buttons on a Rock Band guitar. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. A Harmonix representative sprung into action to correct the misstatement and pitch the Freestyle Solos -- a system that reminded everyone there are ten buttons on these axes. Intricate notes have been left by the wayside for colorful patterns. Blue means to play in first position (normal notes); orange indicates you need to slide up the neck and play on those five forgotten-about buttons. An algorithm decides exactly what gets played, whether it be sustains, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, or just wildly tapping without any strumming. One of the patterns mandates you just play anything. Make noise, anything works. While it sounds somewhat insane, it mostly works. The solos come together in a way that's satisfying -- as if you were actually playing the solo. However, substituting that for nailing a classic solo isn't a trade-off that I necessarily appreciated. It just feels like maybe it's a bit too easy now. That's not the only concern. Harmonix has made a point of framing Rock Band 4 as a party game that anyone can pick up and play. But, I saw many of my peers struggling to integrate the solos into the gameplay they already knew. When I asked the devs how long they expected it'd take for casual players to grasp Freestyle Solos, they thought it'd go pretty quick. I estimate it'll take slightly longer than very casual players want to commit. In that event, the mode can be turned off, which seems like a less than optimal solution. For those who have the patience to learn it but aren't dedicated enough to excel at the old solos, Freestyle may be a fine compromise. Wailing on those solos makes you feel really good even when you're performing a relatively simple task. It makes for a nice little illusion for anyone who doesn't want to look past it.
'Play Freestyle!'
Everywhere I looked, my peers seemed to be having fun. Mere minutes before, everyone couldn't stop talking about how cold that Santa Monica rooftop was. It was the opposite of fun. Now, that had melted away, a distant memory ...

Rock Band 4 is coming, and it's bringing the party back
Mar 05
// Brett Makedonski
While it's important to look forward, fans also can't help but look back. After all, there are some pretty hefty investments there -- both with regard to instrument peripherals and downloadable tracks. Harmonix acknowledges this and is doing its best to make sure that there's continuity across the Rock Band brand, even if it has jumped to new consoles. With regard to instruments, Sussman says that the team's doing its best to ensure that legacy peripherals will be compatible with Rock Band 4. He couldn't definitively say that it'd happen, but Harmonix is working with Sony and Microsoft to try to work something out. Sussman said that he was confident in the chances those conversations would yield positive results. The other big concern, previously purchased downloadable songs, has an even better outlook. Harmonix is tackling the engineering issue, something that Sony and Microsoft are fully supporting. The only problem is that it'll require a lot of man-hours to essentially recreate every song in the library. It's going to eventually happen, but Harmonix can't say how long it'll take to get there. But, players definitely aren't going to be required to buy tracks a second time or anything in that vein. Of course, alongside Rock Band 4's release will be a set of brand new instruments manufactured by Mad Catz. However, that's not the extent of its involvement. Mad Catz is cooperatively publishing the game with Harmonix. This'll likely mark the largest software publishing deal in Mad Catz's history. [embed]288538:57603:0[/embed] Despite Mad Catz's involvement, Rock Band 4 won't release with a flurry of optional equipment like Rock Band 3 did. Because Harmonix is putting focus on the social aspect, it's mostly doing away with Pro mode. Drums will still be supported because the base instrument is all that's needed. Gone are Pro Guitar and Pro Bass. Also nixed are all forms of keyboard. Sussman said that through data collection, Harmonix saw that keys were played a very small percentage of the time relative to other instruments. Although this is the first time in a half-decade that Rock Band's making a return, there's also the well-founded rumor that Guitar Hero will throw its hat back into the ring this year. When asked if the studio was at all disappointed that it'd face immediate competition, Sussman seemed upbeat about Rock Band 4's chances against Activision's property. "We're focused on things we can control. However, I think our pedigree speaks for itself," he said. He's right; Harmonix has a history that's rooted in quality. However, maybe none of that really matters if the general audience just isn't ready to go back to Rock Band. When we pressed Sussman about the idea that most people from his audience seven years ago are likely in very different places in life now, he was unflinching. "While I realize that people move on, a love for music is all that's needed for Rock Band to be appealing to you. That's something that no one grows out of," he commented. Again, Sussman's right. Even if Harmonix stayed mum on a lot about Rock Band 4, it tipped its hand on what might be the most important facet: the game's tone. Rock Band 4 is all about the unique social experience that comes from playing music together. It wants to be a party, a constant source of good times. Basically, Harmonix is doing everything it can to make sure you want to get the band back together.

Rock Band had a ridiculously profound effect on my life
Apr 02
// Brett Makedonski
I was hooked immediately. From the opening notes of Guitar Hero's "I Love Rock 'n Roll," I just connected with the game in a way that I had never experienced before. We spent the night taking turns attempting to best some of the music industry's most revered and recognizable songs. Sure, it was only medium difficulty and there were still plenty of plunks and wails, but each passed song brought with it an undeserved sense of faux-rock stardom. That night bred an obsession of sorts for me. From that point forward, Harmonix had my heart. I spent countless hours practicing and perfecting Guitar Hero, and later Guitar Hero 2. I went so far as to track my scores through an online database. It wasn't long before five-starring songs wasn't good enough; I was chasing gold stars and full combos. If I missed a note, I started the song over. Meticulous? Hell yes it was. But it never, ever stopped being fun. In 2007, Harmonix took its revolutionary concept of plastic instruments and put a spin on it to include a full band dynamic. Consider my interest sufficiently piqued. I wasn't alone, either. By the time the game released, my friends were constantly chiding me to buy it. They all offered to chip in, and to this day, I only own about one-fifteenth of my original Rock Band kit. The investment turned out to be well worth it. The night I brought it home, we played it until the wee hours of the morning. We rotated everyone through all of the instruments, and put particular care into ensuring that everyone sang. We played songs like "Say It Ain't So" and "Wanted Dead or Alive" way too many times because we didn't realize that we weren't unlocking new songs. Simply put, the night was perfect. As Rock Band put a whole new spin on the music genre of videogames, it also changed the light in which I experienced them. The Guitar Hero franchise had grown into a place of competitiveness for me. I associated those games with precision, perfection, and besting other players. Rock Band taught me to step back from that and enjoy the games for what they were. I still cared about the scores, but I also couldn't fault other people for not caring as much as I wanted to. I never really had the dynamic of a four-person band that all excelled on Expert. Truthfully, I'm kind of glad I didn't. It let me enjoy the Rock Band games as a pure social experience -- something that doesn't seem to come along often in videogames. That first night of owning Rock Band set the pace for what was to come. Rock Band would eventually become the centerpiece for many of my social moments across the next five years. In college, entire parties revolved around Rock Band. Many nights out on the town were pre-gamed while playing Rock Band. It was always a uniting activity, as it seemed that everyone, across all walks of life, genuinely enjoyed playing the game. I'd wager that plenty of others have come to the exact same conclusion. Now that Harmonix is pulling the plug on weekly DLC, it feels like the franchise as a whole is going with it. You can't blame Harmonix though -- the genre had simply reached its saturation point, and that probably came a few years ago. At least it's going out with a semblance of dignity. Throughout the years, I spent hundreds of hours playing Rock Band and spent at least a thousand dollars on downloadable songs. These games had an impact on my life unlike any other videogame that I've ever played. I can only hope that Harmonix's next big undertaking can play even a fraction of a role in my life that Rock Band did. As Don McLean's "American Pie," the final piece of regularly scheduled DLC for Rock Band, so eloquently puts it, "I can still remember how that music used to make me smile."
The day the music died
It's a sad week. Granted, it's an inevitability that's more than five years in the making, but nonetheless, it's sad. This is the week that Harmonix releases its final regularly scheduled Rock Band DLC -- a str...

We need to stop letting hate define us
Mar 12
// Brett Makedonski
Before we get too far, this isn't intended to convey the message that you need to love everything. In fact, I believe that the opposite it true. Criticize and analyze everything. Without criticism, nothing would ever grow or evolve. Nothing would stick out above the rest. We'd be stuck in a perpetual state of middling, uninspired product. Instead, we need to tone down the undue cynicism. It's human nature for people to bond over shared experiences, but if we focus it on the positive instead of the negative, everyone will be much better off. Do you hate EA? Chance are, you probably do. About a year ago, it was voted the worst company in America. More recently, EA garnered more negative press for its statements about how microtransactions will eventually be included in all of its games. While CFO Blake Jorgensen has since gone on record to state that they meant all mobile games, the sentiment remains the same. It's not a unique opinion to think poorly of EA. However, without EA, there's a solid chance that your gaming experiences would be diminished in some capacity. Do you like Mass Effect, Battlefield, Dead Space, or Rock Band? Those franchises all exist, in part, because of EA. The same can be said for about a thousand other titles. There's absolutely nothing wrong with speaking out against its business practices that you don't agree with. That, along with voting with your wallet, are the only two ways that exploitative conventions will change. Still, it isn't fair to throw around blanket phrases like "I hate EA," because the company has had more of a positive effect than immediately comes to mind. The interesting niche about videogame culture is that there are considerable barriers to entry to even have an opinion. It requires both a monetary and time investment to be informed. Then, it takes the urge to go share your opinion. It's all much more complex than "Justin Bieber is stupid." As a result, it's a very vocal minority that engages on Twitter, forums, and comments sections that comprise the voice of the industry. Relatively speaking, it's a pretty small chunk of the population. In a way, we're more prone to falling into the trap of becoming overly pessimistic because we hear the same opinions recycled from all directions. And to be honest, it really doesn't even matter all that much. While our outcries feel loud as hell at the time, they're usually pretty muffled. Do the thoughts of Diablo III and Error 37 conjure terrible memories? The game still sold a ton of copies. I bet by the time that the SimCity fiasco is completely straightened out, its sales figures will be pretty impressive too. The truly disconcerting facet of this isn't even necessarily how overly cynical we've become, although that's certainly a problem. It's how, as Stump pointed out, many of us have become defined by the things that we hate. Rather than simply dismissing something that doesn't please us, we make an effort to stomp it into oblivion. I've been guilty of it, and I'm sure that many people reading this have been too. To quote Stump, "Near-masturbatory complaining has brought together more people than cheap liquor." He could not be more right. We feed off of others' spiteful opinions, and then we reciprocate. There's a cool kids' club for everyone that says the right things, and we all want to be included. It's incredibly easy to find a litany of bitter commentary about the popular topics, and with each opinion read, we become more and more influenced, and increasingly likely to weigh in ourselves. This is a mold that needs to be broken. It reflects poorly upon us, and frankly, it can't be healthy. I don't necessarily have a lot of hope for society-at-large, but being surrounded by like-minded people, I like to think that we're better than this. We naturally connect with one another via shared opinions, but there's no reason that these can't predominantly come from a place of positivity. Keep the critiques flowing, but let's stop hating things simply for existing. If we can do that, I can't help but feel that we'll all be much better off. [Image courtesy of Fogs Movie Reviews]

EXTREMELY SPOOPY TRAILER [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-cIGX8kE_g[/youtube]
I'm coming to realize my time off from blogging has made the progress I made at being succinct fade away into nothingness, as the world will see in about an hour. I also made Valkyrie Drive's boobs even more boring at Japanator last night! Somehow.
Apparently, Kero Blaster got an update... Neat.

I have a program that is reading in data in the format:
Row Column Value
1 1 4
1 3 5
2 1 6
where the first two columns refer to the indices of a matrix, and the value column contains the value stored at that (row, column) coordinate in a matrix.
If I was to actually construct a 2d array to represent the matrix, it would be very large since my input data is very sparse. Instead I want to build a sparse matrix representation that will allow me to look up the value corresponding to a (row, column) pair, returning 0 if it is not present.
It seems like boost has a way to do this, but I can not find enough documentation to actually understand how to use it.
I have read through these in depth, but am still not sure how to procede:
http://www.guwi17.de/ublas/doc/html/ex__fill1_8cpp-source.html http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/libs/numeric/ublas/doc/matrix_sparse.htm
I am a c++ newbie so am unsure of how to use boost to create a sparse matrix from my input data (assuming I already read it in). I also am having no luck finidng out how to actually return the value pertaining to a (row, column) pair using a boost sparse matrix. Can anybody point me to some basic examples, or explain how I might do this?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Detroit Lions Lost To The Dallas Cowboys In Playoffs
I may live in Central New York now, but I was born and raised in Michigan. That means deep down, I'm rooting for my home team. Unfortunately, that didn't go so well this Sunday.
I may live in Central New York now, but I was born and raised in Michigan. That means deep down, I'm rooting for my home team. Unfortunately, that didn't go so well this Sunday.
While you probably tuned in to the playoff and other "Big Six" bowl games, there was a lot of action in games further down the schedule. Here are all the highlights from the last week of bowl season that you might have missed.
The Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts moved on to the divisional round of the NFL playoffs with victories on Sunday. Here's a recap of the day's games:
The Baltimore Ravens and the Carolina Panthers each advanced in the NFL playoffs on Saturday. Here's a recap of the day's games:
Oregon put the clamps down on Florida State by dominating the Seminoles in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, but it's what happened after the game that has people talking.
Despite starting a third-string quarterback, No. 4 Ohio State rallied from an early 15-point deficit to upset No. 1 Alabama, 42-35, and advance to the college playoff championship.
The 2014-15 NFL playoffs get underway this weekend with four wild card round games. Here's a preview of all the contests:
College football may have undergone a season of change this year with the College Football Playoff, but some things remained the same, like mind-blowing plays.
The 2014 NFL regular season ended on Sunday, as all remaining playoff spots were claimed and several division titles were decided. Here's a recap of the day's action:
Each conference has a playoff spot open as the NFL readies for its final week of the 2014 regular season. Here are this week's most interesting storylines.
He may not have won the Super Bowl -- heck, he may not have even made the Super Bowl -- but don't doubt for a second that Tom Brady's year wasn't top-notch.
Dre Kirkpatrick returned a Peyton Manning interception 30 yards for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, and the Bengals rallied past the Denver Broncos, 37-28, in rainy Cincinnati on Monday night.

Preschool art Education/new member
Expand Messages
- Hi art educators, I new to this list - an art docent in the Alameda,
Ca elementary schools for 8 years now. My youngest is going to a
cooperative preschool here in Alameda. As a part of the curriculum,
I'd like to introduce works of art to the kids in a similar fashion
that we do in the elementary schools, just simplified for their
attention spans. The interest is there - on the kids and the parents
parts, so I'm eager to get started. From your experience, which
artists and prints would you suggest I start out with? Any
suggestions are very much welcome! I'm looking at Matisse, Picasso,
Monet, and Van Gogh...as some of the many artists. We'll do a
discussion and have the painting up for a week for the kids to
observe and do follow up projects. Any suggestions on the pre school
level would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much!!

I was able to ask for help whenever I needed it. Everyone in my division was really friendly and competent in their work. Also, managers made sure that I met every important visitor. They even took me and the other intern to a baseball game, a plant, and a couple extravagant dinners.
You are given a lot of work and expected to do a good job. This is good for some people and bad for others. In other words, the work load is not for everyone.
Advice to Management
A lot of managers are constantly moving from division to division to advance their career. I would say they should extend their stays at each division.

The State Bar of California has issued perhaps the country's most straightforward and candid directive to litigators to learn the ins and outs of electronic discovery (e-discovery). In a proposed formal opinion, it states, "Not every litigated case ultimately involves e-discovery; however, in today's technological world, almost every litigation matter potentially does." It goes on to say that, as a matter of competency, the attorney handling e-discovery should be able to do the following nine things:
1. Assess e-discovery needs;
2. Implement appropriate preservation procedures;
3. Analyze and understand clients' electronically stored information (ESI) systems and storage;
4. Identify custodians of relevant ESI;
5. Perform appropriate searches;
6. Collect responsive ESI in a manner that preserves its integrity;
7. Advise clients on available options for collection and preservation of ESI;
8. Engage in a "competent and meaningful" meet-and-confer to address e-discovery plan; and
9. Produce responsive ESI in an appropriate manner.

Poor Lindsay Lohan. She spent her 27th birthday all by her lonesome. Well, Kind of.
TMZ reported that Lilo was denied by Cliffside (where she is currently in rehab) that she would not be able to have any visitors on her b-day except one — her lawyer, Shawn Holley.
The rehab center has a strict "no visitors policy" except on Sundays. Not all hope was lost for Lilo though. Certain visitors are allowed after visitor hours, like lawyers.
Cue Shawn.

Short and sweet, a thought I had this morning… Given my luck with women pre- and post-marriage (virtually nonexistent on both sides) it's actually miraculous that I a) got someone to marry me and b) that someone wanted to make babies with me. I think these two wonderful souls were just meant to be!

So this was a fascinating read over at HuffPo, "The Likely Cause of Addiction Has Been Discovered, and It Is Not What You Think" by Johann Hari, who's authored a book called Chasing the Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs. She spent over three years and traveled 30,000 miles researching her book, and ran across a rather mind-blowing notion:
The opposite of addiction is not sobriety. It is human connection.
There's a lot of good stuff in her HuffPo article so I definitely recommend reading it, but I'll hit on some high lights from what she wrote below, along with my own thoughts. Continue Reading »

Man, this week's episode of Showtime's Masters of Sex, "Blackbird," really got to me. I absolutely loved season 1, and while season 2 has been a bit uneven, there has still been some dynamite performances by the leads, as well as some of the secondary characters– in particular Julianne Nicholson as Dr. Lillian DePaul, Virginia Johnson's colleague and friend.
Below the jump are spoilers, but I consider them pretty small spoilers. If you haven't seen the show yet but plan to in the future, I don't think anything I'm talking about will ruin things for you, but I did want to put the warning out there… here be spoilers!

I just had lunch with my BFF, and I talked to her about a cool movie called About Time, which is a sweet romantic comedy with a dose of time travel. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it.
We when on to talk about how having children tends to erase regrets or at least cast them in a new light, which reminded me of this post I wrote a few years back. So I wanted to reblog it, especially since it's a much more "positive" post than I've written of late. Enjoy :)
Originally posted on My Ideal Woman...:
I'm pretty sure I've written here before how having children so dramatically changes your perspective, not least of which has to do with regrets you may have had in life. The steps you took in life, even the steps you may have regretted, ultimately led you to the path that brought your children into your life… and every day I see these wonderful little souls, these amazing lives that are growing and becoming more and more independent and curious, with dreams and hopes for their futures, I realize that even a slight deviation in my path to them might have prevented them from even existing. It takes my breath away when I think back and contemplate how easy it could have been to take a different path, and so how can I regret the things I used to think of as mistakes and lost opportunities if they ultimately led me…

The most difficult thing about going from being a married dad to a single dad was not sleeping under the same roof as my children every day. Getting them up in the morning, feeding them breakfast, getting them ready for school… and then at night, asking about their day, checking the schoolwork, and finally tucking them in and getting a goodnight kiss… the daily connection with your children is such a blessing, so rejuvenating to the mind and spirit. And most important of all—having access to a hug from someone who loves you whenever you need it is the greatest gift. There are days when the world is beating you down, and you desperately need the balm of a loved one's arms wrapped around you to let you know it's okay. When you're a single dad who's children don't live with you, when you have those sorts of days, most of the time you come home to an empty house and just have to deal with being beaten down alone, and hold on for the next visitation when you can finally get the hugs and kisses that you need. My ex often laments about how difficult and busy it is being a single mom, but I would trade places with her in a heartbeat.

Special Report: Some activists on the Left are rejecting President Obama and the Democrats even if that means electoral victories for Mitt Romney, the neocons and the Tea Party. But Sam Brown, a veteran of a similar debate in 1968, cautions against the allure of political purity, writes Robert Parry.

But the case that Richard Nixon sabotaged the Vietnam peace talks in 1968 to win that pivotal election is clear, writes Robert Parry.
The Dark Continuum of Watergate
Special Report: The 40th anniversary of the Watergate break-in has brought reflections on the scandal's larger meaning, but Official Washington still misses the connection to perhaps Richard Nixon's dirtiest trick, the torpedoing of Vietnam peace talks that could have ended the war four years earlier, Rober Parry reports.
The Almost Scoop on Nixon's 'Treason'
Special Report: At the end of Campaign 1968, as Richard Nixon feared his narrow lead could disappear if progress were made on Vietnam peace, a U.S. correspondent in Saigon got wind of a cabal between Nixon and South Vietnamese leaders to block peace talks and secure his victory. History was at a crossroads, writes Robert Parry.
Showing that Hostage-Taking Works
Exclusive: The U.S. news media has been quick to cite the lousy May jobs report as proof that President Obama's economic stimulus has failed and that Mitt Romney's odds of winning have improved. But the real winner is the Republican strategy to make the U.S. economy "scream," writes Robert Parry.
How the Right's Smear Machine Started
Exclusive: The Right's attack machine, which these days questions President Obama's birthplace and smears Georgetown student Sandra Fluke over contraceptives, arose in the wake of the Vietnam War and Watergate with young conservatives thinking they were the real victims, thus justifying whatever they did, reports Robert Parry.
Profiting Off Nixon's Vietnam 'Treason'
Exclusive: The notion of Wall Street bankers meeting in private to discuss profiting off a plot to extend the Vietnam War and risk the lives of thousands of American soldiers may sound like a conspiracy movie script, but it is a tragic reality reflected in once secret White House documents, reports Robert Parry.
LBJ's 'X' File on Nixon's 'Treason'
Special Report: In the dusty files of Lyndon Johnson's presidential library in Austin, Texas, once secret documents and audiotapes tell a dark and tragic story of how Richard Nixon's team secured the White House in 1968 by sabotaging peace talks that might have ended the Vietnam War four years earlier, Robert Parry reports.
Republican Tradition of Hostage-Taking
Special Report: Since the days of Richard Nixon, Republicans have pursued an anything-goes brand of politics that often has the look of hostage-taking, with Democrats usually caving in. But, Robert Parry asks, has President Obama finally learned that the only way to stop bullying is to stand up to it?
Three Pillars of a Revived Republic
Exclusive: As local governments shut down more Occupy encampments, the movement for the "99 percent" is at a crossroads. Some supporters advocate more civil disobedience; others urge a shift toward media outreach; and still others want a move into politics. But Robert Parry notes that all three approaches may be required.
